FOOL'S MATE
The members of government are known. Three changes have taken place.
And if there is "logic" about replacing the minister of sport because
he was a frozen member of the PAP but it is not clear why the ministers
of economy and finance have replaced each other. The spokesman for
the RPA Sharmazanov explained that ordinary citizens must feel the
results of the government reforms.
Mildly speaking, it is a weak explanation because the citizens do
not see the result of reforms not due to the performance of these
two ministers. These two ministers did not determine the government
policy. They were operators and they are not even fit for the role
of a scapegoat.
The composition of the government conveys that nothing will change
to favor public interests, and the same policy will continue to be
implemented. It means the economy will remain based on quotas and
monopolies, retaining the priorities of banks, mines and import. A
considerable sector of the economy will remain in the shadow, the
same tax and customs schemes will be used to oust SMEs and rule
out competition. As a consequence, emigration rate will continue to
be high.
Culture and historical heritage will continue to be destroyed. The
Diaspora affairs will remain an arena of tourism. The Ministry of
Foreign Affairs will remain a protocol office the activities of
which will be measured by the number of interviews and visits of the
minister. Initiatives will be absent in internal and external spheres.
This is not a government but a political favor to everyone: the West,
Russia, Kocharyan, the oligarchs, the former young communists, the RPA
youth, the IMF, mine owners, apostolic inclinations. It is intended
to leave everyone content. Similarly, the government cannot resolve
any public and state issue, only internal governmental issues and
redistribution of property.
For its part, it means that hardly any positive change should be
expected in liberal economy and public welfare. The appointment of
this cabinet is Serzh Sargsyan's fool's mate to the society and its
expectations.
